Lawal moved to Spain at only 17 and signed with Atlético Madrid, going on to spend three full seasons with the B team, in Segunda División. In 2000–01, he was promoted to the main squad, which was also competing in that category, appearing rarely (178 minutes) as the Colchoneros failed to regain their La Liga status.
After two solid seasons in level two, with Córdoba CF and CD Leganés, Lawal returned to the top division with Albacete Balompié, but failed to establish himself in the Castile-La Mancha side and left for Xerez CD in January 2005; Albacete would also be relegated at the end of his second season.
Subsequently, Lawal played the remainder of his career in Morocco and the United Arab Emirates.
